A match of Dutch Boy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash is a deep, muted burgundy-brown with a warm cast. It sits in the darker range, so it reads as subdued and grounded rather than bright or clear. The red-brown undertone is present, but the overall appearance stays low-key and slightly earthy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on hardware, vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and other small parts where a dark red-brown reference needs to be carried across different materials. It can also work on baskets, frames, shelving supports, knobs, and trim pieces when spray application is the most practical way to coat the part.

Because this is a dark, moderately saturated color, the final look can shift with finish and substrate. Smooth or glossy surfaces tend to show sheen and surface condition more clearly, while lighter or uneven substrates may need proper prep and enough film build for an even result. On coated or contrasting parts, a sound primer system can help keep the color uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ R-21-5 Burgandy Dash *

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to R-21-5 Burgandy Dash for baskets, frames, shelving, or other small decor pieces?

Yes. A match of Dutch Boy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when the project is a basket, frame, shelving part, bracket, accessory, or another small item that is easier to spray than brush.

This is a match of Dutch Boy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash made in MyPerfectColor paint, not the original Dutch Boy paint product. For the best result, use the spray format on a clean, properly prepared surface and test on a hidden area first if the item has a slick or unknown coating.

What should I know before spraying R-21-5 Burgandy Dash on plastic or other difficult surfaces?

Plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so it is important to test R-21-5 Burgandy Dash on the actual material before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint may adhere well to many plastics, but the surface prep and the exact plastic type can change the result.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the match of R-21-5 Burgandy Dash. Clean the part first, follow the primer directions, and verify the finish on a sample area when possible.

If I order a custom match of Dutch Boy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash, can I return it if I picked the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-made color matches are chosen to your order details, so confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you buy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash.

If those details are wrong, the order may not fit the project the way you expected. MyPerfectColor makes a match of R-21-5 Burgandy Dash in its own paint, so it is best to verify the exact format and finish before checkout.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to R-21-5 Burgandy Dash do I need for my project?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for R-21-5 Burgandy Dash depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, spray method, and how many coats you need.

If the item is dark, rough, or uneven, plan for extra product. For larger projects, it is safer to estimate using the area to be coated and then add allowance for test spraying and additional coats.

What prep should I do before applying a match of R-21-5 Burgandy Dash to metal or an existing coating?

Before applying a match of R-21-5 Burgandy Dash to metal or a previously painted part, clean the surface, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating has a better chance to bond.

The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how the finished color reads. If the existing finish is failing, peeling, or unknown, test a small area first and make sure the substrate is sound before spraying.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Dutch Boy R-21-5 Burgandy Dash?
